When He Got the Boundaries He Wanted

Summary

After we got back together, Nathan became clingy.

What I ate, what I drank, who I saw—he needed a full report on everything.

One day, he called, his tone a careful probe. "Zack brought some girls over. We're heading to the spa."

I just said, "Oh. Have fun."

The line went dead.

Twenty minutes later, he was blocking my doorway, his voice a raw whisper. "You'd just let me go off with someone else?"

I took a step back under his intense gaze. "Isn't this the 'boundaries' you wanted?"

My words hung in the air, and he froze.
